Your home by the dunes

A calm, sunlit place to land, sandy toes and all

Beachside Cottage has been stylishly decorated as a relaxing base after a day on the sand. The spacious, modern kitchen is fully equipped, the lounge has fast fibre Wi-Fi and a Smart TV you can sign into with your own Netflix, Prime Video or BBC iPlayer account, and a timber dining table looks out through French windows to the south-facing decking area beyond.

Upstairs, both bedrooms have a super-king zip-and-link bed that can be split into two singles, so you choose how you sleep: two super-kings, four singles, or one of each. Below the decking, a fully enclosed pebbled garden is safe for children and dogs. There is a garage for the car, or for buggies, bikes and boards, with further parking at the front and rear.

Your Camber Sands holiday cottage

Beachside Cottage is a two-bedroom holiday cottage in the village of Camber, East Sussex, a short walk from the beach. It sleeps four, with a super-king zip-and-link bed in each bedroom that splits into two singles, so a family, two couples or a group of friends can arrange the beds the way they want. Up to two dogs are welcome, the garden is fully enclosed, and there is a garage plus parking at the front and rear. Of all the holiday cottages in Camber Sands, it is the kind of cosy seaside cottage you come back to: sandy feet, a barbecue on the south-facing decking, and the sea air through the French windows.

Why choose a holiday cottage in Camber Sands?

Camber Sands is the only sand dune system in East Sussex, with miles of golden sand on a coast that is mostly shingle. At low tide the beach is huge, with warm lagoons for children; at high water the sand dunes feel wild. It is one of the best kitesurfing beaches on the south coast, with water sports lessons and hire in the village, and the beach welcomes dogs all year, with zoning in summer. Staying in a holiday home here means you skip the summer car park queues and have the beach to yourselves at dawn and dusk.

  • Sleeps four: two bedrooms, each with a super-king zip-and-link bed that converts to two singles, plus a travel cot and highchair.
  • Inside: a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, a washer dryer, a lounge with a Smart TV you sign into with your own streaming accounts, fast fibre Wi-Fi and central heating.
  • Outside: south-facing decking with a barbecue and seating, and a fully enclosed pebbled garden.
  • Parking: a garage for the car, bikes, boards or the buggy, plus parking at the front and rear.
  • Dogs: up to two dogs welcome. See our dog friendly cottage page.

Comparing holiday rentals in Camber Sands

Holiday rentals in Camber Sands range from caravans and holiday lets to large beach houses. If you are comparing Camber holiday cottages, look at how many each cottage sleeps, how the bedrooms can be arranged, whether dogs are welcome, where you will park in summer, and how far the walk from the beach is. Our accommodation in Camber sleeps four in two bedrooms, takes up to two dogs, has its own garage and parking, and is a short walk from the sandy beach and dunes. That makes it ideal for families, couples sharing and anyone looking for dog friendly cottages near the sea.

Near Camber Sands: Rye, Rye Harbour and the coast

The medieval town of Rye, one of the old Cinque Ports, is four miles away: cobbled streets, independent shops, the Mermaid Inn and the Rye Castle Museum. Rye Harbour Nature Reserve and Camber Castle are close by, and this corner of East Sussex sits right on the border with Kent, so the best of East Sussex and Kent is within reach: Dungeness, the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway and Hastings are all easy days out. See our guide to things to do in Rye and Camber Sands.

Camber Sands, honestly told

The only sand dune system in East Sussex, and mile upon mile of proper golden sand, a rarity on this mostly shingle coast. At low tide the sea retreats a very long way and leaves warm, shallow lagoons. At high water the dunes feel wild and windswept. RNLI lifeguards patrol the central beach from Easter to late September, and dogs are welcome all year round with sensible summer zoning.

  • Time your beach day by the tide. Low water means miles of firm sand
  • Dedicated kitesurfing zone at the eastern end, three licensed schools, surf and paddleboard hire in the village
  • Toilets, the new Welcome Centre with first aid, and three council car parks (or skip them and walk from the cottage)
